Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Ellie **2** triggers Ellie **2** actions NASA FIRMS **3** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Ellie and NASA FIRMS to do together? Give your AI client this address. `https://mcp.apiant.ai` One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser. ### Set it up in your client ### Claude Code Run this in the directory you want to work in. `claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai` Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens. [Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code) ### Claude, web and desktop Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Cursor Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Zed Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Any other MCP client Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Ellie and NASA FIRMS ## Triggers and actions 2 triggers · 5 actions - Trigger **New Task** Triggered when a new task is created in Ellie. - Trigger **Task Complete** Triggered when a task is marked complete in Ellie. - Action **Create Task** Creates a task in Ellie, optionally scheduled for a day, with a label, list, notes and subtasks. - Action **Update Task** Updates a task in Ellie. Fields you leave blank are left as they are. - Action **Find fire detections by area** Returns satellite fire detection hotspots inside a bounding box for a chosen sensor and day range. - Action **Get data availability** Returns the date range of data available in NASA FIRMS for each satellite sensor, for both near real-time and standard processing data. - Action **List missing data dates** Returns the dates on which NASA FIRMS is missing satellite fire data, per satellite sensor, for both standard and near-real-time data. ## Each app on its own - [ **Ellie** Ellie helps you organize your thoughts and plan your day in a beautiful and simple app.](https://apiant.ai/connections/ellie) - [ **NASA FIRMS** Satellite fire-detection API providing near-real-time active fire and thermal anomaly data from MODIS and...](https://apiant.ai/connections/nasa-firms) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Ellie - [ **Ellie to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/ellie-to-hubspot) - [ **Ellie to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/ellie-to-salesforce) - [ **Ellie to Google Sheets** Google Sheets](https://apiant.ai/connect/ellie-to-google-sheets) - [ **Ellie to Gmail** Gmail is Google’s email service, featuring spam protection, search functions, and seamless integration with...](https://apiant.ai/connect/ellie-to-gmail) - [ **Ellie to Google Calendar** Google Calendar is a time management tool providing scheduling features, event reminders, and integration...](https://apiant.ai/connect/ellie-to-google-calendar) - [ **Ellie to Google Drive** Google Drive is a cloud storage solution for uploading, sharing, and collaborating on files across devices...](https://apiant.ai/connect/ellie-to-google-drive) ## More into NASA FIRMS - [ **HubSpot to NASA FIRMS** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/hubspot-to-nasa-firms) - [ **Salesforce to NASA FIRMS** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/salesforce-to-nasa-firms) - [ **Slack to NASA FIRMS** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of Ellie's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Task and Task Complete. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in NASA FIRMS when something happens in Ellie? Any of NASA FIRMS's 3 actions, including Find fire detections by area, Get data availability and List missing data dates. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from NASA FIRMS to Ellie? NASA FIRMS has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Ellie. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads NASA FIRMS's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Ellie or NASA FIRMS? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Ellie and NASA FIRMS without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
